Policy Bindings for WinNT User Directories

When SiteMinder authenticates a user, it establishes a user context. Subsequently, access control policy decisions are based on the user context matching one of the criteria shown below.

User Namespace

Description

User

The user’s user name must match the user name specified in the policy.

User Group

The user must be a member of the user group specified in the policy.

Generally, you bind users to policies via the Policy dialog in the Policy Server User Interface by selecting an entry from the list of available directory entries. However, individual users are not visible in the list of available directory entries.

Note: When you create or modify a Policy Server object in the Policy Server User Interface, use ASCII characters. Object creation or modification with non-ASCII characters is not supported.
